My great-grandmother's name was Esther Meyer, and she was born April 3, 1918 in Newark, NJ. She told my grandfather very little information about her family. She married a Henry Schnabel (my great-grandfather). He died in the mid 1960's. The only information my grandfather had was that he had a cousin or some sort of relative named Daniel Solomon and that Schwartz may have been the name of someone in his family. I'm fairly certain his grandfather's name was Irving Meyer and was also born in Newark. We also have reason to believe they may have been Jewish, even though my grandfather was raised Lutheran. I found an "Ervin Meyer" in the 1910 Census which lists his mother as Alvine/Alwine (also in Newark, NJ) and a brother named Henry which sounds like it could be the right match based on years. I cannot find anything beyond this...there's nothing in the 1900 census, and I don't know Alvine/Alwine's maiden name nor her husband's first name. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
